Except for those durned hydraulic lifters, the 2-bolt mains, and a block that splits north of 500rwhp... Other than those things, which can easily be fixed by replacing the entire block and the internals, yeah, they'd rev to the moon, alright...
Read the above as sarcasm... Actually, revving was always the mod motor's strength. Stout blocks with as much capability for power as you could throw at it, solid mains, and an OHC that needed just a little work to spin to 7500+ rpm made it the clear choice in that regard. The advantage of the old 5.0 was the ability to stroke it out to a 347 and the absolutely gigantic aftermarket where it was so easy to make any amount of power you wanted to with the money and a cookie-cutter solution. 500rwhp? That's laughably easy with a 5.0.

Oh please! Everyone knows that the old 5.0 was the ****! Ford's 302s have rocked the house from the old Boss through the '93 Cobra. The new 5.0 and the Boss are back, but they have a long way to go to live up to the legacy. They're off to a good start, though
But you'd still be driving a queer ass V6 and be in the company of morons like StatusKill.
225 hp V8>>>305 hp V6, I'd take the V8 alllll day long.

Whatever, dude... Well, the thought of getting outrun by a V6 in an old 5.0 sucks... so you got me there... but whatever, I'll be damned if a V6 is going to outrun me unless it's SERIOUSLY modded anyway. I'll take the 60+ extra cubes to build on, and the sound of it. No way I'd be caught owning a V6 Mustang.... or a 2v 4.6 for that matter
